Oh my grammatical letters
I realize that on the edges, I slightly oversimplified the splitting of the Hebrew alphabet into 2 groups of 11, e.g. here (but it was a medieval suggestion, not mine. Around about that time Joel Hoffman was talking about a moveable something or other - here, metathesis. I knew it was meta something and I actually found it in Putnam and then searched Joel's blog for it. I see now - by direct evidence, that one of the first 11, (the grammatical letters imaged as a cricket team), taf, has the ability to infiltrate enemy lines. So it finds its way into the middle of the word worship: שׁחה becomes שׁתח every time it appears in the psalms. I think this might be important - this worship. Remember what Paul noted concerning the golden calf...
